As bad as things can be, economic downturns also lead to new opportunities. It's easy to worry, give up and let fear paralyze you. However, you have more control than you think you do and how you handle adversity is your choice-and the only choice that matters. In fact, study history and you'll find that a lot of people and organizations made a name for themselves and grew their businesses during recessions and downturns. These successful people and organizations all shared similar characteristics and took similar actions to thrive while others merely tried to survive. You can do the same.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eThe Shark and the Goldfish,\u003c\/i\u003e Jon Gordon shares an inspiring fable about Gordy, a pampered goldfish who gets swept out to sea. Desperate for food, Gordy meets a kind shark who teaches him the ultimate lesson: Goldfish wait to be fed. Sharks go find food. Gordy also learns that the difference between a full and empty stomach is our faith, beliefs and actions. In the face of adversity and lean times, this is a business fable that reinforces a proven truth: You can't control the events in your life. But you can control how you respond and in turn this determines the outcome.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Shark and the Goldfish \u003c\/i\u003eis a business fable that teaches valuable lessons on the importance of working hard, maintaining a locus of control and focusing on positive choices instead of negative voices:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eWritten by Jon Gordon, bestselling author of \u003ci\u003eThe Energy Bus\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe No Complaining Rule\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eReveals how change is inevitable-but that you can make it your friend or foe.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eProvides an action plan filled with tips and strategies to thrive during change and adversity\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf you're facing tough economic times, \u003ci\u003eThe Shark and the Goldfish\u003c\/i\u003e will motivate you, inspire you, and give you the confidence you need to thrive during changing times.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eA Confession ix\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction xi\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAre You a Shark or a Goldfish? xv\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA Wave of Change 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEmbrace and Ride the Wave of Change 11\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eStay Positive 27\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThrive because of Change 51\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA Shark School for Goldfish 65\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eStart Your Own Shark School for Goldfish: Empower Your Team to Ride the Waves of Change and Teach Them How to Fish 71\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFood for Thought: Individual\/Small Group\/ Team Discussion Questions 75\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOther Books by \u003ci\u003eJon Gordon\u003c\/i\u003e 79\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAbout the Illustrator 91\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Business \u0026amp; management [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Business \u0026amp; management\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Business%20\u0026amp;%20management%20%5BKJ%5D%22\"\u003eKJ\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52472070471960,"sku":"9780470503607","price":14.97,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780470503607_174419.jpg?v=1785715603","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-shark-and-the-goldfish-positive-ways-to-thrive-during-waves-of-change-hardback-9780470503607","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
